i tied a shirt around my waist and placed a large candle on the toilet and lit it. I then proceeded to draw my gf a bath, and got too close to the candle. I felt that my ass was getting hott, and I ignored it at first. I looked behind me and noted that my shirt had lit up like a bonfire.

i kind of stood there and frantically patted the flame out.

Let's see here:

I was showing a Marine buddy what type of electrical plug was on my 240 volt clothes dryer. Silly me, I didn't turn the power off at the breaker box. Well, wouldn't you know it, my hand slipped as I was pushing the plug back into the socket. Zing, pow...crap, that hurt!

Can I safely assume that you censored your recreation of the events ??? ;D

[coltrane]

I think that part where he soiled his pants was omitted for the weak hearted.

No more like vocabualr "refinements". Stryder prefers to use "crap" over the more profane "shit", and so forth....

I like the "soiled the pants" possibility more.

[stryder144]

Yes, I used crap instead of shit. It just sounded better to me . And no, I didn't soil the pants (I'm sure that if it had been a 110v shock I would have. Of course, I would have been dead, too).

The thing that sucked is that I had a Marine smirking at me. We Air Force types prefer to think of ourselves as part of the intellectual elite (think about it: we send our officers in to fight, most other branches send the enlisted in first). Marines are not generally considered to be, let's say, on top of all things intelligent. So to have a Marine smirking at me because of my mistake was a bit hard to swallow. I guess I'm not the brightest bulb out there.

Cheers.
